What the reported grades show
NTR 306 (Fundamentals of Nutrition) has 33,688 reported letter grades across 41 semesters in this export, from Summer 2011 to Summer 2026. Combining those grades gives a mean of 3.62 on UT’s four-point scale. This is a count-weighted result: every reported letter grade contributes once to the course total, so larger reported groups have more influence than smaller groups. It is not an average of rounded semester GPAs.
In NTR 306, 22,631 of the 33,688 letter grades were A, or 67.2%. Another 2,937 were A−. Combining A and A− produces an A-range share of 75.9%, a different measure from the A-only figure at the top of the page. The distribution also records 394 F grades. The combined D+, D, D− and F share is 2.7%. These figures help show the shape of the historical outcomes alongside the overall mean.
The latest reported semester for NTR 306 is Summer 2026. Its 439 letter grades yield 3.82 average grade points and 87.2% A grades. Across semesters with letter grades, the reported mean ranges from 2.76 in Fall 2012 to 3.87 in Spring 2020. The largest reported letter-grade count is in Spring 2026, with 2,291 letter grades.
Within the NTR source group, the pooled undergraduate average is 3.57 across 68,396 letter grades and 46 courses. NTR 306 is 0.05 grade points above that pooled mean. This comparison combines different courses and student groups; it does not adjust for prerequisites, course level or selection into a class. Use the department hub to compare the underlying grade counts before interpreting that difference.
NTR 306 appears in Spring, Fall, Summer in the reported history. Spring accounts for the largest number of its reported letter grades (16,215). These are observed reporting seasons, not a promise about the next schedule. Check the catalog prerequisites and the syllabus for the exact section before registration; a past grade distribution does not describe an upcoming instructor’s assignments, attendance rules or assessment weights.
